SPELLING EDITED Q-6. REVLATION 12 - THE WAR IN HEAVEN! Revelation Chapter 12 THE COMING CLIMAX OF THE WAR IN HEAVEN! When did this war in heaven begin? Did this war in heaven begin before God ever created mankind? Is this war in heaven still being fought at this present time? Is there a yet coming future war in heaven? Or did Jesus fulfill this war in heaven at the cross? Some Christians are totally unaware that Satan is making war with God and that there is a yet coming climax in the very near future to this war in Heaven. Please read Revelation 12:1-9. “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2. And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 7. And there was WAR in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels, 8. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Now, I myself believe that this WAR in heaven began BEFORE mankind was ever created. I also believe and teach that God created mankind as a result of being falsely accused of creating the rebellious nature in Lucifer. And thus, Lucifer is adjuring God that he should not be punished for rebelling against God. In other words, to solve this accusation against Almighty God of creating Lucifer with a sinful nature, God gathered the Elohim together and said let us make a new species of being that I will create inferior and a little lower than you Elohim. And if they will live perfect and upright before me, then that will prove to you angels that I did not create you with a sinful nature. I will give you all the Scriptures of why I teach what I teach on this subject further on in this study. But first, let me share some other views that I have been made aware of, that differ from what I believe and teach. Some Christians teach that this WAR both began and ended at the cross when Jesus dethroned Satan so to speak giving believers in Jesus power and authority over Satan. And thus, to them, there is no future fulfillment of Satan being cast out of heaven. And other Christians believe that this WAR is yet future and that Satan will be cast down to the earth at some future time, where to them, there is no past fulfillment or beginning of this war in heaven in the past. Both of those views are different from what I believe. Now I myself believe that this war BEGAN in the past BEFORE mankind was created, is still yet presently waging throughout the entire history of mankind, and will CLIMAX yet in the future, but not TOTALLY end until after the 1000 year reign of Jesus when Satan is cast into the LAKE of FIRE. Now, I would say that most Christians believe and teach what I teach on this subject with the exception of WHEN this war in heaven actually began. In other words, some Christians believe that Lucifer fell or was cast out of heaven after mankind was created but before the fall of mankind. So then, there are all kinds of theories and opinions and interpretations among Christians about this war in heaven spoken of in Revelation chapter 12. I will first state some points of why I believe that Satan’s FIRST casting out of Heaven was BEFORE mankind was created and NOT after the creation of mankind. #1. Satan was not always Satan. The word Satan means adversary or enemy. We know that Satan is God’s enemy for many reasons but for now I will give you one verse to support that Satan is God’s enemy, and thus, Satan is our enemy as well. Matthew 13:36-39. “Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. (Or teach us the MEANING of this parable Jesus) 37. He answered and said unto them, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man; 38. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom, but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39. The ENEMY that sowed them is the DEVIL; the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels.” This verse teaches us indeed that Satan is the enemy of God but it does not teach us WHEN Lucifer became the enemy of God. #2. We all agree that the Devil has been tempting and deceiving mankind from the very beginning of the CREATION of mankind. So either Lucifer became God’s ENEMY sometime in the Garden of Eden, or Lucifer was ALREADY God's enemy BEFORE the creation of mankind. I myself find no evidence for the FALL of Lucifer to be in the Garden of Eden AFTER God created mankind. But I do find many verses that have caused ME to ask the question of WHY would God do these things that he did and God is still doing? And these questions of WHY prove to ME that Satan’s FALL was BEFORE God created mankind. Here are just some of those verses: Psalm 8:5, and Hebrews 2:7-9 teach us that God made Jesus and mankind a little lower than the angels. So I kept thinking to myself WHY would God make Jesus and mankind LOWER or inferior to the angels and then exalt ONLY those of us who overcome Satan and make us be OVER the angels? I thought to myself that man is not a wise as God but yet we always try to make things BETTER than what we have previously made. So it seemed to me that this was odd and not logical to go backward in the creation and make mankind LOWER and inferior to His previous creation, the angels. I mean WHY would God create a new species of being LOWER or INFERIOR to his previous creation, the angels? It is the logical ANSWER to this and many more questions that lead me to believe that this WAR in heaven began BEFORE God created mankind a little LOWER than the angels. Here are some more verses that raise some more questions. In Revelation 20:2,3, it is prophesied that God will bind Satan before the 1000 year reign of Jesus so he cannot tempt and deceive mankind but after the 1000 year reign of Jesus God releases Satan from the bottomless pit to ALLOW Satan to deceive the nations to rebel and to make war with God’s people. WHY would God do this? And what does, Satan being BOUND, have anything to do with the 1000 year reign of Jesus being 1000 years of peace without any WAR? To ME, this shows that Satan is on some kind of TRIAL for falsely accusing God that God was to blame for him rebelling against God because God created him with a rebellious sinful NATURE. Here are some more verses that raise even more questions to me. #3. Revelation 12:9,10, Job 1:1-12, Job 2:1-12 teaches us that Satan is the accuser of the brethren and he has been accusing us before God from the beginning. In Revelation 12:9 we see that Satan is cast OUT into the earth which I believe took place at the cross. Then in Revelation 12:10, we see that Satan is cast DOWN which I myself and many other Christians believe is yet future during the period of the great tribulation. I believe that this yet future casting down to the ground or to the surface of the earth from their PLACE of authority as the principalities and powers of the AIR, the atmosphere of the earth being cast out of the midst of heaven starts the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation. We are told that those in heaven REJOICE because, during the WAR in heaven, Satan, the accuser of the brethren will be cast OUT and will be cast DOWN. And we know from Isaiah 14 that this casting down is speaking of Satan being cast out of the heaven down to the ground or to the surface of the earth. Let us begin this study in God’s word to learn WHEN Satan was already cast out, and when will Satan yet be cast out in the future. In other words, I myself find two times that Satan has already been cast out in the past and yet one future time that Satan will be cast down to the GROUND. Let me explain what I mean by this. We know that there are THREE heavens. The THIRD heaven is where God’s throne resides. The SECOND heaven is outer space, the universe with its many stars and solar systems. And the FIRST heaven is the AIR or the atmosphere around the earth which is where Satan is ruling as the god of this present world along with the principalities and powers of the AIR. Please read Ephesians 2:2. “Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the AIR, the spirit that NOW works in the children of disobedience:” So then, Satan was already cast out of “A” heaven, namely the third heaven, God’s throne, in the past. And Satan was also already in the past cast out of the second heaven to cease making war in the universe accusing mankind as he did in the book of Job. This second step of pushing back God’s enemy took place at the cross. Then Satan will yet be cast out of “some different heaven”, the first heaven, which is the air or the atmosphere of the earth to the edge of the earth in outer space around the earth that satellites orbit. And this yet future casting out of heaven down to the GROUND is what Revelation 12 is referring to. That is why I myself believe that this yet coming climax of the war in heaven where Satan is cast out of the MIDST of heaven down to the ground will begin the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation. Let us take a closer look at point #3 of this WAR in heaven having more than just one fulfillment by reading Revelation 12:7-13. Revelation 12:7-13. “And there was WAR in heaven: (Again, I myself believe that the WAR in heaven speaks of the WHOLE war, past, present and yet future. And I believe “in HEAVEN” is speaking of ALL THREE Heavens, the third Heaven, which is God’s throne, the second heaven which is the universe or outer space, and the first heaven which is the AIR, the atmosphere of the earth. In other words, this war BEGAN before God created mankind when Lucifer, an anointed Cherub, was given Earth as his kingdom to rule over a previous “humanoid” creation of Almighty God before God created a new species of being called mankind a little LOWER than the angels. And then because of pride, Lucifer convinced himself and one-third of the angels that they could take over God’s throne and exalt the throne that God gave to him above the CLOUDS. Thus Lucifer became God’s enemy when he attacked God’s throne in the THIRD heaven and WAR broke out between God and the good angels and Satan and his angels. Some Christians call this previous world, the Luciferian age, that was destroyed by a great WAR in heaven. And there is physical evidence on the earth to support such a WAR. Please read the study “WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT UFOS?”) Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels, (There are many massive stone structures that have been left in ruins. And some of those stone structures have symbols of serpents and dragons. These ancient temples are aligned with the sun, moon, and stars with such great precision to predict times and seasons that it is not logical that primitive man could have built these structures. Again, some of the great stone structures defy rational thinking that they were made by man. And much evidence points to the building of these great massive stone structures some 8,000 years before mankind was ever created. Also, the people that dwell around these structures say that they were already there when they came into the land. And some appear so scattered that the only plausible explanation is a WAR of great magnitude took place to do such destruction because an earthquake would not scatter the pieces all over like there are found today. These are just some of the points to ponder about this WAR in heaven being BEFORE the creation of mankind between Satan and God.) 8. And prevailed not; neither was their PLACE found anymore in HEAVEN. (I believe that “their PLACE” refers to their RIGHT or their authority to be in HEAVEN was taken away ONE STEP at a time. FIRST, it was the THIRD heaven, then it was the second heaven, and in the near future it will be the FIRST heaven as the principalities and powers of the AIR will be cast down to the earth, and Satan and his angel will no longer be able to hinder the prayers of the saints. And lastly, after the 1000 year reign of Jesus in the final stage of this war in heaven Satan will be destroyed in the lake of fire never to rise again.) 9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: (I see Satan being cast OUT when Jesus overcame Satan at the cross. This was the second stage of the war in heaven) he was cast OUT into the earth, and his angels were cast OUT with him. (Again, I see Satan being cast OUT when Jesus overcame Satan at the cross. This was the second stage of the war in heaven. But there is still yet future being cast out of heaven DOWN to the earth. Yet we can still see all three phases of this war in heaven Satan being cast into the earth one step or one BATTLE at a time) 10. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, NOW is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for (Or BECAUSE) the accuser of our brethren is cast DOWN, which accused them before our God day and night. (This verse can perhaps refer to the cross when Jesus spoiled the principalities and powers triumphing over them, but it ALSO speaks of a yet further casting Satan DOWN completely to the earth where he has no PLACE or no power and authority in the FIRST heaven as the principalities of the AIR to HINDER the PRAYERS of the saints. We will cover all the verses of what I am saying in a moment) 11. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12. Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. (I believe that this speaks of the saints in heaven because they are now “safe” so to speak. They have become victorious over Satan to overcome him being faithful to endure unto the end. I say this because the context in verse 11 is speaking of the saints who remained faithful even unto death. But it could also refer to the good angels who had to continually fight the fallen angels so that the prayers of the saints could get through from heaven down to the earth and when the accuser is cast down to the ground he can no longer hinder the prayer of the saints) Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For (Or BECAUSE) the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, BECAUSE he knows that he has but a short time. (I believe this speaks of the last 3 1/2 years right before Jesus returns which most all Christians agree is the period of the GREAT tribulation. The reason I say this is because he goes and persecutes the woman that has a place prepared for her where she is fed and NOURISHED for 1260 days or 3 1/2 years from the face of the serpent, Satan, the Devil. See Revelation 12:14-17, Revelation 11:2,3, and many other verses that we will cover further on in this study of God’s word.) 13. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.” Now the reason why I believe that this WAR in heaven began BEFORE the creation of mankind, is still yet going on, and will climax 3 1/2 years before the end of this present age called the GREAT tribulation also known as Satan’s GREAT wrath, but will not be COMPLETELY ended until after the final deceiving of the nations to rebel against God after the 1000 year reign of Jesus has ended is because Lucifer became God’s ENEMY before the fall of mankind. You see, Lucifer had to FALL before he became God’s enemy. To me, Lucifer BEGAN this war in heaven with his coup or rebellion to take over God’s throne BEFORE God ever created mankind. And this WAR in heaven is the very REASON that God ever created mankind in the first place. For you see, God stopped Lucifer from that first attempt of exalting himself to be as God and sit on God’s throne. From that time forth Lucifer became the enemy of God, the adversary which is what the word Satan means. That first stage of this war in heaven ended Satan being allowed into God’s throne, the third heaven. And thus, that first stage of this war in heaven ended the threat of God's throne in the sides of the north from ever being able to be overthrown. And the way that I am seeing things, God was going to destroy Satan right then and there but Satan accused God of creating him with a rebellious nature. And that is WHEN God devised a PLAN that would include creating a new species of being called mankind or the humans and ALSO a WAY to SAVE mankind. God then created a new species of being called the humans or mankind a little LOWER or inferior to the angels and Satan has deceived man from the very beginning of the creation of mankind. Satan is still yet deceiving mankind and his END of deceiving mankind and the end of this WAR in heaven will not be until he is cast into the lake of FIRE at the end of the world yet to come, the 1000 year reign of Jesus. Now I myself had to wonder WHY? Why does God allow Satan to remain alive? WHY does God allow Satan his enemy to tempt and deceive mankind? Why does God allow Satan to oppress mankind? One reason is that God was blamed for creating Lucifer with a sinful rebellious nature and thus God has no right to destroy him. So then, God, creating a new species of being a little lower or inferior to the angels to live upright before him, is a way to clear God’s name. Please read and closely consider all the following verses where what God is doing is FOR HIS name’s SAKE. 1 Samuel 12:22. “For the LORD will not forsake his people for HIS great name's sake: because it has pleased the LORD to make you his people.” Psalm 23:3. “He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for HIS name's sake.” Psalm 25:11. “For YOUR name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.” Psalm 31:3. “For you are my rock and my fortress; therefore for YOUR name's sake lead me, and guide me.” Psalm 79:9. “Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of YOUR name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for YOUR name's sake.” Psalm 106:8. “Nevertheless he saved them for HIS name's sake, that he might make his mighty power (Or mastery, his sovereignty, his Almighty power) to be known.” Psalm 109:21. “But do you for me, O GOD the Lord, for YOUR name's sake: because your mercy is good, deliver you me.” Psalm 115:1. “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto your name, give glory, for your mercy, and for YOUR truth's sake.” Psalm 143:11. “Quicken me, O LORD, for YOUR name's sake: for YOUR righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.” Isaiah 48:9. “For MY name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I cut you not off.” Isaiah 48:11. “For my OWN sake, even for my OWN sake, will I do it: for how should my name be POLLUTED? and I will not give my glory unto another.” Ezekiel 20:9. “But I wrought for MY name's sake, that it (MY name) should not be POLLUTED before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.” So we can see that our righteousness has been God’s workmanship from the very beginning FOR HIS NAME’S SAKE lest HIS name is polluted. After I learned this, I now cringe in my spirit when I hear Christians blame God for their sins by saying that mankind is born with a SINFUL NATURE so they can not help but sin as it is their NATURE to sin. This is very close to the pride Lucifer had accusing God of creating him with a sinful nature so it would be unrighteous of God to destroy him. Thus for me, I am seeing that Satan is on trial and even if ONE human being lives upright and righteous before God, then Satan’s doom is sealed. Jesus did that but God wants to prove further that all of mankind who believe in his Son Jesus can also live upright and perfect before God. Jesus said that we must endure unto the end and overcome Satan even as he overcame. Moving on to the next point, the reason I believe that the WAR in “heaven” speaks of all THREE heavens as opposed to only the throne of God in the third heaven is that it does not make sense to me to explain that Satan is cast out of heaven or fell but it still seems that he has LIMITED access to the throne of God. I mean to me Lucifer either fell or he did not fall, he was cast out of heaven or he was not cast out of heaven, God prevailed or God did not prevail. You cannot have it both ways. The “limited” access theory simply does not make sense to me. Now those to hold to that theory or point of view use Job 1:6.7 and Job 2:1,2 to try and prove that Satan and the fallen angels still had at least “LIMITED” access to the throne of God in the days of Job and thus he could not have been permanently and totally cast-out of the third heaven before the creation of mankind. But I submit to you to consider the WAR and Satan ACCUSING the brethren to prove that God is to be blamed for creating Lucifer with a rebellious NATURE as you read these verses in Job and the meaning of the Hebrew word translated a “presented” themselves. Keep in mind that Satan is maintaining that God has no right to destroy him by putting the BLAME on God for creating him to rebel. Job 1:6,7. “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present (Or STATION) themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 7. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence come you? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” First, it must be interpreted or read into these verses that Satan and the fallen angels came into the throne of God. The word simply states that they came before the Lord. Next, the word translated as prevent themselves also means that they came before the Lord to STATION themselves. This Hebrew word also means to SET themselves, to STAND FAST, to PLACE themselves, as in, to STAY, to STAND UP, to stand forth, and to WITHSTAND. Remember the Satan is the ACCUSER of the brethren and he is God’s ENEMY and the WAR is still going on. Satan is still trying to prove that God is to blame and therefore he is innocent and thus God has no right to destroy him. Read the next verse to see God’s answer to the coming day in which they STATIONED or WITHSTOOD themselves before God and Satan came with them. I submit to you that IF so be this “presenting” themselves was a mandatory regularly scheduled time to “present” themselves before God as a commandment of God, then there would be no need to add the phrase, and Satan came WITH them. So to me, this presenting themselves before God is more like them coming before God as far as God’s army of angels protecting his throne saying, Adam sinned and therefore we are just to accuse you, God, for creating us with an evil sinful nature and you have no right to destroy us. In other words, they were STANDING FAST in their accusation against mankind of having a sinful NATURE as well as they and, therefore, God is to be blamed for their rebellion. And thus, they should not be punished. To me, this was like a cease-fire period in the war in heaven until it is proven one way or the other. I understand that God is God and he can do whatever he chooses, but also know and understand that God is a righteous and just God. He knows that he did not create Lucifer with a sinful nature and he can prove it, not to Satan, but to the GOOD angels who remained faithful to him. You see, DOUBT had already been sown by Satan polluting God’s name and God wants to end that doubt once and for all time. And what better way than to create an INFERIOR species of being and have them live perfect and upright before him? Again consider God’s ANSWER to Satan and the fallen angels. Job 1:8. “And the LORD said unto Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and eschews evil?” Can you not see this back and forth war of Satan ACCUSING mankind and God defending His creation to prove that he did NOT create any of His creation with a SINFUL NATURE to rebel against their creator? Can you not see that the reason God created mankind was for his OWN name’s SAKE to clear his name of being falsely accused? Remember that God created mankind a little LOWER or inferior to the angels. And for those who OVERCOME, God will EXALT to be made HIGHER and ABOVE the angels. And here in Job, God is telling Satan and the fallen angels that are STANDING FAST with their polluting God’s name, to CONSIDER the man Job and how this MAN is a godly and an upright man that flees from evil. Another verse that has caused me to think along these lines of Satan and the fallen angels being on TRIAL is found in Psalm 8:2-6. Psalm 8:2-6. “Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might STILL the enemy and the avenger. (The words because OF gives us the reason why God will exalt the upright of mankind who overcome the enemy to judge the fallen angels. And that reason is to STILL his enemy or cause his enemy to CEASE. Not just from accusing mankind but rather for falsely accusing God of creating him with some evil and rebellious nature and thus polluting God’s name.) 3. When I consider Your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon, and the stars, which you have ordained; 4. What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him? 5. For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honor. (Jesus was first made a human being to be a little lower or inferior to the angels and then after the cross when Jesus gave himself, as the Son of MAN without any sin, as perfect MAN and upright before God, then his God and Father highly exalted the Son of man and gave him a name more excellent than the angels. And this was done for God’s name's sake SO THAT God could STILL his enemy or cause his enemy to CEASE from polluting his name. God could have destroyed Satan and the fallen angels that very day Jesus rose victorious over the principalities and powers but he had in mind to prove that any human can live perfect and upright before him by faith in God’s word trusting that God will perform his word or do what he has promised in his word. God ordained this strength in us who are IN Jesus Christ to EMPOWER us to live without sin.) 6. You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:” So I submit to you as the reason for WHY God created mankind to be a little lower than the angels was to prove to Satan, the fallen angels, and the good angels that what Almighty God creates, he creates PERFECT. And that even a lower and inferior creation is able to live perfect and upright before him. Therefore, God is just and righteous to punish Satan and the fallen angels for THEIR rebellion of their OWN choosing and it was NOT because God created them with a flaw causing them to rebel. Now let us read Isaiah 14:12-15 and Ezekiel 28:12-19 and then we will come back and read more context to tie everything together with the WAR in heaven spoken of in Revelation chapter 12. Isaiah 14:12-15. “How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! (Notice that Satan was known as Lucifer, son of the morning before his fall or his being cast out of the third heaven, the throne of God. God is a Holy God and he does not allow sin in his presence. Satan is a SINNER and he is no longer allowed in the throne room of God in God’s presence. The Bible teaches that God is Holy and in him is no darkness at all. This first fall or forceful pushing at Lucifer is when Lucifer became Satan, the adversary, or the enemy of God. Satan’s second or forceful pushing of Satan even further back was Satan falling like lightning at the cross when Satan lost control of being able to travel the universe or walk among the stone of fire. This war is more than a “spiritual” war. It is also a real war with literal fighting. I will explain more on this shortly and you can also read the studies “UNDERSTANDING WHY?” and “WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT UFOS?”. The third fall of Satan being cast out of heaven is yet future when he and his angels are cast down to the GROUND, the surface of the earth, and loses his PLACE in the first heaven of the earth's atmosphere to HINDER the prayers of the saints. For example, we are shown in Daniel where the answer to Daniel's prayer was sent the very FIRST day but it took 21 days for the good angels fighting against the fallen angels to get the answer through to Daniel. Think of the power and strength of us as believers on that day when our prayers are answered instantly without any hindering from Satan and the principalities of the air. God gives us at least one of the reasons for the fall of Lucifer as to how he became God’s enemy in the following verses) 13. FOR (Or BECAUSE) you have said in your heart, I will ascend INTO heaven, I will exalt MY throne above the stars of God: I will sit ALSO upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (The city of God is on the side of the north. And in this verse, we see that God is laying the blame where it TRULY belongs which is that Lucifer caused his OWN fall and it was not God who created Lucifer with a sinful rebellious nature. Lucifer, by his OWN choice due to his OWN pride to self exalt himself said) 14. I will ascend above the heights of the CLOUDS; I will be like the most-High. (The pride in Lucifer’s heart began when he had his throne on the earth before God created mankind. God, Himself set Lucifer as a ruling Cherub over the earth before the earth BECAME ruined by the Luciferian WAR against God to take over his throne and exalt himself as God. Lucifer’s pride in his heart desired to be worshiped like Almighty God. Lucifer convinced one-third of the angels to side with him and they tried to take over God’s throne. For this reason, Lucifer was no longer allowed in the third heaven, the throne of God, and became God’s enemy. God could have destroyed Satan and his army of angels right then and there but as we know this did not happen. WHY? Why allow this war to continue to rage for 1000’s of years? I believe that it was because Satan falsely ACCUSED God of creating him with a “SINFUL NATURE” to pollute God’s name in order to keep God from destroying him right then and there on the spot. To me, this WAR in heaven began 1000’s of years ago before God restored the earth after being destroyed by this WAR in the heavens. And after God had Satan and his army of angels confined to this solar system and was about to destroy Satan and his army of angels, that was when Satan falsely accused God of creating them with a flawed sinful nature. And thus, it was God's fault that Lucifer rebelled to make WAR with God. That was when God came up with his PLAN of Salvation. And part of God's PLAN of salvation was to first create a NEW species of beings INFERIOR to the angels. So God created mankind to replenish or repopulate the earth as a NEW species of beings called the HUMANS. I will give you the Scriptures to support what I am saying in a moment but for now, I want you to see that Lucifer had a throne on the earth before he became Satan. In other words, I want you to see from God’s word that Satan was God of the earth BEFORE the fall of man when he had STOLEN the dominion of the earth from man to become the rebel god of this present world. Please notice that Lucifer had to ascend INTO heaven. He had to ascend ABOVE the CLOUDS. That was the start of the WAR in HEAVEN. Personally, I do not believe Lucifer made it that far all the way to God’s throne room. I believe the bulk of the war, as in, actual literal “physical” war was fought in outer space, the second heaven. I will explain more shortly and you can also read the study “WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT UFOS?”) 15. Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.” Satan being brought down to the bottomless pit is yet FUTURE. This will occur AT the second coming of Jesus when Satan will be bound in the bottomless pit for 1000 years which is the end of the third stage of this war in heaven. Keep in mind that this war is BOTH a spiritual war and a literal “physical” war. Most people can understand or relate to something “physical” but we do not yet completely understand “interdimensional”. Most people cannot wrap their heads around something that can appear or be seen and then disappear and not be seen. So I am not saying that angels are “physical” beings, but rather that they can manifest themselves to be seen and touched like physical material beings. Now before this war, Lucifer and the fallen angels MAY have had physical bodies before their fall. And they may still yet have bodies that can be manifested to be seen as physical bodies. I do not see that the Bible tells us specifically either way. Let us now read Ezekiel 28:12-19. “Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus says the Lord GOD; You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13. You have been in Eden the garden of God; (By the context we know that the king of Tyrus is speaking of Lucifer BEFORE he became Satan, God’s enemy, who is now the prince of darkness influencing the kings, kingdoms, and people of this present world to be evil. We all agree that Satan was in Eden where the garden of God was planted, but this passage of Scripture here in Ezekiel is a description of Lucifer BEFORE he SINNED and was no longer allowed into the third heaven. So then, BEFORE God created mankind there was already an EDEN and then God created mankind and planted a garden IN Eden and then placed man in the garden which we call the garden of Eden. God is describing Lucifer as having) every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of your tabrets and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day that you were created. 14. You are the anointed cherub that covers, and I have set you so: you WERE upon the holy mountain of God; (Here we see that at one time in the PAST Lucifer had full access to the throne of God in the third heaven but NOW that access to the third heaven is NO LONGER allowed. SIN is not allowed in the throne room of God) you HAVE (Referring to in the PAST) walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. (This, to ME, speaks of the second heaven or outer space, the whole universe. In other words, Satan was once allowed to travel the stars, the fiery stones. But in the first stage of this WAR in heaven, that privilege was stripped away for him and the fallen angels as well. Now their only PLACE of authority and power is restricted to the atmosphere of the air around the earth itself in the ORBIT of the earth. Some of you may have done your own research on the fallen angels and you may have come across our sun being a portal or a wormhole where UFOs are seen flying into the sun and out of the sun. Men of science speak of bending or folding heaven to create a wormhole that allows light-years of time in space travel to be done in just minutes. These men of science also speak of other kinds of portals that allow the same result. I believe this verse hints at the stars, the stones of fire, or the suns in the universe as being portals for traveling quickly from one solar system to another solar system. And I believe Psalm 144:5 speaks of God bending or bowing the heavens or space to create a wormhole or portal to come down to the earth. “Bow your heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.” Religious church people will laugh at such things as God needing to create a wormhole or ported to come down to the earth. But all I am doing is showing you what the Bible ITSELF says and also what science says and making a comparison which to me sounds identical. In other words, I am showing you that the Bible itself spoke of wormholes long BEFORE science ever started talking about wormholes. Religion does not see this war as a literal war. No matter how you see this war we cannot deny that Lucifer was created perfectly by God and then after pride arose in him Lucifer sinned by making war with God. I myself see this war as both spiritual and literal with real fighting between the angels. God is still describing Lucifer before he rebelled.) 15. You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in you. (Here I see that God creates ALL things perfectly and that it was the sin of PRIDE, Lucifer’s OWN pride of his own heart that made him think that he was like the Almighty God and he could take over God’s throne by force or by any other means. In verses 16-19 below, we will see that Lucifer, who is now Satan, is sentenced to death. And other verses in the Bible like God’s name being polluted and God doing things for HIS OWN name’s SAKE which we have already read in this study have led me to see that Lucifer falsely accused God of creating him with a sinful nature and thus it was not his fault that he tried to take over God’s throne. And in this verse 15, God is saying to that false accusation, NOT so Lucifer for in the day I created you Lucifer you were perfect in ALL your ways. Here is the true reason you rebelled and made war with your creator) 16. By the multitude of your merchandise, they have filled the midst of you with violence, and YOU have sinned: therefore (Or for this very reason of declaring WAR on your creator) I will cast you as profane out of the mountain of God: (Or I will cast you out of the third heaven where my city and throne is) and I will DESTROY you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. (And next, I will destroy you and your army of angels permanently in the lake of fire. I will destroy every last one of you who declared war on your creator in the entire universe, the midst of stones of fire, the suns in each solar system by first driving you all down to the earth placing some of you in chains of darkness to await your judgment) 17. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, YOU have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: (In other words, God is saying that it was not me who created you with an evil rebellious sinful NATURE but rather it was YOU Lucifer who made this choice to declare war on me and try to take over my throne. And for this) I will cast ground to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you. 18. YOU have defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of YOUR iniquities, by the iniquity of your traffic; (Or trading. Remember Satan telling Jesus that he would give or trade all the kingdoms for his worship? See Matthew 4:1-11) therefore, will I bring forth a fire from the midst of you, it shall devour you, and I will bring you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold you. 19. All they that know you among the people (Satan worshipers and followers of Satan who are deceived THINKING that they are worshipping the true God calling him Allah) shall be astonished at you: you shall be a terror, and never shall you be any more.” So then, to me, Satan and the fallen angels are on TRIAL and the UPRIGHT humans will be the JURY that will bring forth the VERDICT of GUILTY against Satan and the fallen angels. And as the reward for the RIGHTEOUS humans, they will receive immortality and inherit the earth. And in the ages to come, I personally believe that we will travel the star systems throughout the entire universe. Keep in mind that God hides prophecies of future events in his word. So this passage of Scripture also speaks of the final kingdom that shall arise out of one of the seven heads of seven kingdom empires that have been on the earth. Many Christians are seeing that this vile kingdom that shall arise to be used by the antichrist or man of sin is the Islamic Muslim countries uniting together to make war with God’s people, the Christians and the Jews. And it is Satan who gives them their power over ONE-FOURTH of the LAND to kill with the sword and by other means for 42 months or for 3 1/2 years which the Bible calls the great tribulation. Jesus tells us in Luke 10:18 that he saw Satan fall like lightning. The context teaches us that those who believe in him are given the power to cast out devils and destroy the works of Satan just as Jesus did. So clearly, Satan falls even further, losing even more ground in his war against God at the cross of Jesus. But I also believe that this verse in Luke 10:18 has a DUAL fulfillment. The first fulfillment was at the cross and the next fulfillment will be at the starting of the 3 1/2 years of great tribulation when Satan and his angels are cast out of the MIDST of heaven down to the ground where their PLACE of ruling as the principalities and powers of the AIR will come to an end. Let us read Luke 10:18 first and then I will give you the other verses to support what I am saying. Luke 10:18. “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” Jesus is saying this before the cross. Therefore, it is a prophecy of one or more fulfillment yet to come at the time Jesus spoke these words to his disciples. We know that Jesus overcame Satan and spoiled the principalities and powers. And the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:8 that had they known they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. So at the cross was the first fulfillment of this prophecy of Jesus. Now please read 2 Corinthians 4:4. “In whom the god of THIS world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” All Christians agree that the god of this present world is Satan and we also agree that the principalities and powers of the air are still yet ruling in the air or the heaven around the earth. Also, see 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 where we are still yet wrestling with the principalities and powers of the air. Therefore, the fulfillment of the prophecy of Jesus in Luke 10:18 of Satan falling like lightning at the cross cannot possibly be the ONLY fulfillment. There is no doubt that the cross of Jesus was the FIRST fulfillment which began the judgment of mankind by the standard of Jesus, meaning that Jesus is the ONLY name given among men whereby we MUST be saved. Please read John 12:31. “Now is the judgment of this world: NOW shall the prince of this world be cast out.” Some use this verse to try and prove that Revelation 12 where Satan is cast out of heaven was fulfilled at the cross of Jesus, but we must interpret Scripture in the light of the WHOLE word of God. Jesus also says in John 16:11 that the JUDGMENT of Satan or the prince of this world has come. Satan is still yet the prince of darkness of this present world. Thus, Satan has not yet been cast out at all, OR Satan has been cast out of the SECOND heaven and now has been pushed back by God to be confined to the atmosphere of the earth. And thus, there is yet coming a future casting out of heaven, the air, the first heaven DOWN to the earth or down to the GROUND where he will possess a man and give that man of sin power to make war with the two witnesses, the Christians, and the Jews. John 16:11. “Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” Satan has already been judged as being guilty of SIN and worthy of death for his rebellion to try and take over God’s throne. But God has prolonged his life so that he can further prove that all of whosoever of mankind who chooses life instead of death by believing in Jesus as the Christ the Son of the living God can and will live without sin. And even then the trial of Satan will not be over. God will bind Satan a 1000 years in the bottomless pit to show that without his deception and influence on mankind that they can live in peace without war. Then God will release Satan for a little season after the 1000 year reign of peace has ended and Satan will deceive the nations to make war against God’s people. And thus, proving once and for all time that Lucifer’s sin was his OWN sin and that even a LOWER creation of God can live without sin and without war. So to me, there is yet a second fulfillment of Satan falling like lightning, and Jesus was prophesying that he saw Satan fall like lightning. Now, I myself am seeing the second fulfillment of Satan falling like lightning taking place at the beginning of the great tribulation which is when the man of sin will be revealed. Please read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, (The context here is speaking about the second coming of Jesus and our being caught up in the rapture and gathered together by the angels to meet Jesus in the air over Armageddon. In 2 Thessalonians chapter 1, we see that some Christians were under much persecution and they were thinking that the return of Jesus was at hand. Paul addresses their concern in the verses that follow about that day of our Lord’s coming) 2. That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (Speaking of the second coming of Jesus and our being gathered together to meet him in the air) shall not come, EXCEPT there come a falling away first, AND that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (I believe that the man of sin will be the one prophesied in the Quran to come as the Islamic Mahdi to be their great leader. I believe that he will not be revealed until Satan is cast out of the MIDST of heaven down to the ground which is when he will possess and give power to this man of sin. I believe that this will begin the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation and an all-out Islamic war against Israel will begin in the SPRING of that year that the Islamic Mahdi is revealed) 4. Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (Sits in the temple of God is speaking of Satan dwelling in a human being, as in, possessing a man that will work miracles by the power of Satan dwelling or sitting in him, possessing him. Let me explain what I mean by this. God created humans, as in, the INTENTION of God's will is that all humans be SAVED and become the temple of one TRUE God but only Christians are the temple of the one TRUE God. Most unsaved people are empty temples so to speak and the unsaved “possessed” people are the temple of Satan. In other words, Satan perverts the temple of God by possessing people. I believe that the man of sin will exalt Allah above Yahweh) 5. Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? (We are not told when and where but clearly Paul taught these things to them once before. So basically Paul goes on to say well if you do not remember you know it now) 6. And now you know what withholds that he (Jesus) might be revealed in his time. (Remember that the SUBJECT under the discussion of the main context is the coming of Jesus when HE will be revealed from heaven in great clouds of glory taking vengeance on the disobedient of the gospel. In other words, the pronoun “he” is NOT referring to the man of sin being revealed in his time as pre-tribulation Christians wrongly teach) 7. For the mystery of iniquity does already work: (Paul is saying that Satan is already at work, as in, his secret working of influencing and deceiving mankind) only he, (Speaking of Satan) who now lets will let (Or who is presently hindering the saints will continue to hinder the saints) UNTIL he (Satan) be taken out of the way. (This phrase “be taken out of the way” literally means that until Satan “be cast out of the MIDST” speaking of the MIDST of the first heaven as the principalities of the air being cast down to the ground where his only power will be to possess a man. Here is one LITERAL translation of this verse) 8. And THEN shall that Wicked be revealed, (Or then after Satan is cast out of the MIDST of heaven and enter into a man to possess that man of sin then that wicked one will be REVEALED) whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: (It is the MAN who Satan enters into that will be destroyed at the coming of Jesus. Satan will be BOUND for a 1000 years at the end of the BATTLE of Armageddon. The WAR is not over yet. This will be just another BATTLE in that WAR in heaven, the THREE heavens that BEGAN before the creation of mankind.) 9. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” The Muslims do not see that they are working unrighteousness in the eyes of the one true and only Almighty God the Father and his Son Jesus because their understanding of unrighteousness is doing bad deeds. They have not seen that disobeying God’s word, the Holy Bible, to believe in HIS prophet Jesus who he raised up to be the Messiah is working UNRIGHTEOUS in the eyes of God. And the radical Muslims do not see that their KILLING GOD’S people the Christians and the Jews is working UNRIGHTEOUSNESS before the one true God. They have been deceived by Satan who has blinded their eyes to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thanks and praise be to God for opening the eyes of many Muslims in these last days. Many Muslims are having dreams and visions and coming to Jesus. Sadly, many are also being martyred for their faith in Jesus, some of them by their own family members. The Greek word translated as “way” is Strong’s number 3319 and means MIDDLE, between, MIDST. The AIR or the first heaven is in between heaven and the earth. Satan is presently ruling as the prince of the AIR. Please read Ephesians 2:2 again. Ephesians 2:2. “Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the AIR, the spirit that NOW works in the children of disobedience:” Satan will work his iniquity from his PLACE in the AIR hindering the prays of the saints UNTIL Satan and his angels are cast out of the MIDST of the AIR. Again, the midst of the air is speaking of the FIRST heaven. So Satan will be cast out of the first heaven DOWN to the GROUND of the earth which is WHEN Satan will enter into a MAN, the temple of God, to deceive people by working signs and lying wonders before the people of the LAND and NOT before the entire population of the whole world. Some Christians in the mainstream churches are teaching that this man of sin will rule the entire world. But that is not what the Bible itself is teaching us. Revelation 12:14 teaches us that the man of sin, the antichrist, will work miracles in the sight of the WILD BEAST who dwell on the LAND speaking of that region of the world where the Islamic Muslims dominate and control which as prophesied is ONE- FOURTH of the landmass of the earth. Revelation 13:14. “And he (The man of sin who will lead the Islamic Muslims to unite) exercises all the power of the first beast before him (Speaking of the Islamic Ottoman Empire that fell by the sword of war given a wound, as if, Islam was dead), and causes the earth (Speaking of the LAND or that region of the world) and THEM which dwell THEREIN (Think this through for yourself. Every human being dwells on the earth, so the phrase “and they that dwell THEREIN” is speaking of a SPECIFIC region of the earth. And many Christians agree that that region of the earth where THEY dwell THEREIN is referring to the Islamic Muslim countries in the Middle East which is ONE-FOURTH of the landmass of the world) to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. (Speaking of the REVIVING of Islam to make WAR in order to coerce people to convert to Isalm. That is one reason why I personally believe that Isalm IS the MARK of the beast. For you see, the mark of the beast must REQUIRE a Christians to DENY that Jesus is the Son of God who died on the cross for the sins of the world) 13. And he (Speaking of the man of sin, the antichrist, who will be the leader of the Islamic Muslims that will be possessed by Satan in the near future) does great wonders so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, (This could be in the sight of all people of the earth. This fire from heaven could be a weapon of war such as a scud missile. But because of the CONTEXT in verse 14 I personally believe that the miracles that will be done by the man of sin will be in the sight of the MUSLIMS) 14. And deceives them that dwell on the earth (LAND) by the means of those miracles which he had the power to do in the sight of the beast; (Speaking of in the sight of the WILD BEAST, the antichrist SYSTEM, as in, the Islamic Muslim people) saying to them that dwell on the earth, (Or saying to THEM that dwell in the LAND, the Muslim dominated countries in the Middle East) that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. (Now the church as a whole, including myself, has been picturing a literal IMAGE of the beast. But it just came to me that this could mean that this man of sin will ORGANIZE the PEOPLE or RALLY together the PEACEFUL Muslims to be CONFORMED INTO the IMAGE of the first beast, referring to the making of WAR as Muhammad and the early Islamic Muslim leaders all the way through the Ottoman Empire did. In other words, the radical Muslims will coerce the peaceful Muslims to make war or die because that is what the Ottoman Empire did. So the IMAGE of the beast is the image of the Ottoman Empire that made WAR against anyone who is NOT a MUSLIM to force them to become Muslims or die) 15. And he had the power to give life unto the image of the beast, (Or this coming man of sin, the Bible calls the Assyrian, is given power by Satan to speak boldly to give life or INSPIRATION to the people or more precisely to stir up of the people of the LAND in that region of the world so) that the image of the beast (The stirred up wild beast of making WAR, the radical Islamic Muslims) should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Now, while the Bible prophesies that the Assyrian will be the man of sin this does not necessarily mean that he will be of Assyrian descent. It simply means that he is born in the “country” or the land area that was once the land of Assyria. It could even mean that the Assyrian is born somewhere within the entire land area controlled at the peak of the Assyrian Empire. But the Bible points to the modern-day country of Syria and Turkey as where the Antichrist will rise to power. He will definitely, in my own opinion, be a Muslim. And he will CAUSE the Muslims to be in the IMAGE of the Ottoman Empire to convert people to Islam with the SWORD. At this present time, the PEACEFUL Muslims are divided and do not agree with what the radical Muslims are stirring up the people to be conformed to their image or likeness to make WAR with all who are NOT Muslims beginning with the Jews and the Christians. And there will also be some peaceful Muslims that will refuse to take up the sword. The Bible prophecies in Daniel that this kingdom is described as being made up of iron and clay that do not mix. In other words, peaceful Muslims do not mix or agree with what the Radical Muslims are doing. The peaceful Muslims will not give the honor of Islam to the radical war hunger Muslims. But as we are seeing in our day that Radical Islam is NOT going to go away. And the prophecies in the Bible teach us that ten kings will unite to become the feet and ten toes ruled by a vile man who will arise in that region of the world that the Bible calls the Assyrian. Please see Revelation 17:1-18 teaching us about the TEN kings and compare to Daniel prophesying about the TEN toes in the FINAL kingdom that will usher in the return of Jesus who will destroy this final antichrist system. Also, compare this final eighth kingdom to TEN united Islamic nations with Psalm 83 where these TEN Muslim countries are NAMED. You can also read the study “COULD ISLAM BE THE MARK OF THE BEAST?” Now the religion of Islam which the Muslims follow also has prophecies written in their holy books that prophesy of a coming great leader. And their prophecies of their great leader match with the prophecies in the Holy Bible of the BEAST which Christians have come to call the ANTICHRIST and his antichrist system. In other words, their great leader is the ANTICHRIST, the man of sin, or the son of perdition that is prophesied in the Bible. And this antichrist or man of sin will not be revealed until Satan is cast down out of the MIDST of the air during the climax of this WAR in heaven down to the earth. It will be at that time that Satan will enter into a man, the temple of God, to possesses that man of sin and give him the power to deceive the people of the LAND in that region of the world by doing false miracles before THEIR eyes. Yes, perhaps Muslims from all over the world who watch the news on TV and the Internet will see these miracles as well and be deceived to take up the sword to kill Christians and the Jews in other parts of the world, but the bulk of the killing will be in the middle east, the countries surrounding Judea and the city of Jerusalem. In other words, Muslims will not take over the entire world. I am still open to the possibility of a one-world government created by the elite ruling class called the Illuminati and Majestic 12 who MAY try and make Islam or a combination of the Roman Catholic Church mixed with Islam as a one-world religion called Chrislam. But to ME, that scenario or view is becoming less likely to what the Bible ITSELF is actually prophesying. Jesus said when you see JERUSALEM surrounded by armies then let them who be IN JUDEA flee to the mountains. The mountains may mean literal mountains but the word mountain prophetically means kingdom. So Jesus may be saying flee to another country as quickly as you can and for those in other countries to NOT enter into Judea which I believe also speaks of the surrounding Islamic Muslim countries once this Islamic Muslim war against the Jews and the city of Jerusalem begins. Now for those of you who have done your own research on the UFO phenomenon then you know and understand that many of these sightings appear to be interdimensional manifestations of appearing as physical craft and then disappearing. You may also have seen videos of white orbs of light shooting at black orbs and black orbs shooting at white orbs. Please read the study “WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT UFOS?” for all the verses that teach us that God and his angels ride in CHARIOTS. In this study, I will just give you a brief outline of one possible scenario of what the apostasy or great deception or strong delusion MAY be is the last days right before the coming of Jesus. There is only ONE ENEMY of the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ, and that enemy is Satan and his fallen angels that are allowed to rule as principalities and powers in the air for a TIME that has been established and ordained to be by Almighty God. Please read Ephesians 3:9-11, which teaches us that Almighty God has an eternal purpose for allowing Satan and his angels to rule in the heavens above the Earth until their TIME is fulfilled. Ephesians 3:9-11.
“And to make all men SEE what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hidden in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10. To the INTENT that now unto the PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS in HEAVENLY places might be KNOWN by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11. According to the ETERNAL PURPOSE which he PURPOSED in Christ Jesus our Lord:”
Then we go on to continue to read in Ephesians 6:10-12 that we are to be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might and that our war is NOT against flesh and blood but rather it is against these principalities and powers in the heavens above the Earth that are ruling this world system. Remember Jesus said we are IN the world, but we are no longer of this world. Ephesians 6:10-12.
“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG IN the Lord, and IN the POWER of HIS might. 11. Put on the whole armor of God, (WHY?) THAT (Or so that) you may be able to STAND AGAINST the wiles of the devil. 12. For we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood, (Or fellow man. In other words, WE, as Christians, are NOT to take up the sword or weapons of war to fight against the Muslims who are seeking to kill us for the SAKE of the gospel) but against PRINCIPALITIES, against POWERS, against the RULERS of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in HIGH places.”
These HIGH PLACES or these HEAVENS where Satan and his angels are presently ruling from are in the AIR, as in, referring to the atmosphere of the Earth. Please consider Daniel chapter 10, however for now I will just quote verse 2, and verses 12-14, which teach us that Satan and his fallen angels are the MYSTERY of WICKEDNESS that NOW HINDERS the prayers of the people of Almighty God. And UNLESS we as BELIEVERS ENDURE and PERSEVERE in our prayers UNTIL we RECEIVE the ANSWERS to our petitions, supplications, and requests that we ask of God, then our prayers will be HINDERED to the point that they APPEAR as if God did NOT hear our prayer. But I assure you my dear brothers and sisters in the Lord that your prayers are HEARD by Almighty God the very first moment that you pray them and the ANSWER is SENT the very moment your prayers are prayed, but your prayers are being HINDERED by the principalities and powers and rulers of the darkness of this world as they are coming to be manifested in the Earth. Daniel 10:2,12-14.
“2. In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks... ...12. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for FROM the FIRST day that you didst set your heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before your God, your words were HEARD, and I have come for your words. 13. BUT the prince of the kingdom of Persia WITHSTOOD (Or HINDERED) me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 14. Now I am come to make you understand what shall befall your people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.”
Please notice that from the very FIRST day that Daniel set his heart to seek God for an answer to his prayer that Almighty God HEARD his request, and we KNOW from 1 John 5:14,15 that if God HEARS our prayer then we KNOW that he will give us whatsoever we have prayed for so long as it is according to his WILL. 1 John 5:14,15.
“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask ANY thing according to his will, he HEARS us: 15. And if we KNOW that he HEAR us, WHATSOEVER we ask, we KNOW that we HAVE the petitions that we desired of him.”
So then, it is NOT a matter of whether Almighty God HEARS and ANSWERS our prayers, but RATHER it is a matter of us holding FAST in FAITH until the answer gets THROUGH the principalities and POWERS and RULERS of the darkness of this world that are HINDERING our prayers from getting through to us. There has always been this WARRING in the heavens, but there is yet a COMING to a CLIMAX to this WAR in which Satan and his angels will be CAST OUT of the MIDST of this RULING in the air over this world and will be CAST DOWN into the Earth where they can no longer HINDER our prayers. In Revelation 11 we read where the two witnesses are given POWER. Think about being given INSTANT answers to our prayers. We prophesy God’s word and it takes place right before our eyes. POWER will be GIVEN to the TWO WITNESSES and NOT that the two witnesses will be sent down from heaven as pre-tribulation rapture Christians interpret the two witnesses. Now in comparing 2 Thessalonians 2 where Satan is cast out of the MIDST of Revelation 12 where Satan is cast out of the first heaven down to the ground we see that Satan's “angels” are cast down with him. In the Bible, ANGELS are also referred to as STARS. Satan drew one-third of the STARS with his tail. Please read Revelation 12:4.
“And his tail drew the third part of the STARS of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.”
We know that it is physically impossible for the actual stars of outer space in the universe to be cast down to the earth. So I myself believe that the STARS falling like ripe figs off a fig tree are the fallen ANGELS being shot down OUT of the sky or the atmosphere during the climax of the WAR in the heavens between Michael and his ANGELS and Satan and his ANGELS. The question then arises, will we, as human beings, witness or actually see this WAR in heaven between Almighty God where Michael and his angels, which will fight against Satan and his angels? I believe the answer to this question is quite possibly a YES. And if I am correct, then I believe that the witnessing of this heavenly war will be at least a PART of the STRONG DELUSION or great deception spoken of in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 that will DECEIVE those who are not aware of what is taking place. What I mean by this is that the WORLD is setting the stage for DECEPTION by calling this WAR in the heavens an ALIEN WAR between UFO'S from other worlds and then putting forth THEIR OWN INTERPRETATION that there is NO GOD and that these so-called ANCIENT ALIENS were just MISUNDERSTOOD as being gods. They fail to see that the angels are ALIENS to the re-created earth. The angels will not INHERIT the earth. PART TWO Humanism has been pushing its false teachings of evolution and science for many years now to slowly set the world up for the greatest lie of all time. Now, here is where I may lose some of you because I am going to a place where few Christians brave the journey to go. However, I feel led by the Holy Spirit to share with you, the reader and seeker of the TRUTH, what God has shown me concerning these last days, in order to PREPARE you for what is ahead. You are my fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord, and it is our job to warn each other and the world what is coming so that YOU will NOT be DECEIVED along with the REST of the world who rejects God's so great a salvation. Those who survive the wrath of God will be begging God to save them or they will curse God and fight against Him to their death. I am going to show you the connection between the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, and the CHARIOTS of God and His angels. Namely, I am going to show you the connection between the Bible and UFOS or unidentified flying objects that have both been seen and recorded by many, many witnesses even from ancient times to this present day. Please be patient, for I assure you that when you hear ALL the evidence you will be persuaded that Almighty God does, in fact, ride upon the wind in His tabernacle or chariot.
COULD THE UFOS BE INTERDIMENSIONAL SPIRITUAL BEINGS THAT WE KNOW AS ANGELS?
What I mean by this is that what the world is calling “aliens” are actually the angels of Almighty God both the fallen and the faithful. There have been many sightings reported where these so-called “aliens” UFOS are fighting each other. Well, this AGREES with what the Bible ITSELF teaches us about spiritual warfare between the fallen angels and the faithful angels. We know from the Bible that angels can manifest themselves to be seen and at other times they remain unseen to the human eye. Let us begin this section of this study in God's word to show that Almighty God and His angels ride in CHARIOTS. No, I am not speaking of chariots with two wheels pulled by horses, but rather, CHARIOTS that ride upon the wind and fly among the clouds. Again, please humor me for a moment and CONSIDER the fact that the ANGELS in the Bible are ALSO referred to as being STARS. Not literal stars as balls of fire like our sun, but rather, stars is prophetic language, as in, stars is the symbolic language describing an army or hosts of angels. Please read Job 38:1-7 which teaches us that the sons of God or the ANGELS were also called the morning STARS.
Job 38:1-7.
“Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2. Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? 3. Gird up now your loins like a man; for I will demand of you, and answer you, me. 4. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding. 5. Who has laid the measures thereof, if you know? Or who has stretched the line upon it? 6. Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the cornerstone thereof; 7. WHEN (Or at which time) the morning STARS sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?”
Now please read Isaiah 14:4-16 which teaches us about HOW Lucifer came to be the ENEMY of Almighty God known as Satan, the devil, that dragon the old serpent. You see my dear brothers and sisters in the Lord, Lucifer rebelled against Almighty God by exalting himself and the throne he was given by God to be ABOVE the STARS or above the angels of God. And from that time he has been God's ENEMY trying to thwart God's plan to prove to Satan that in the day that God created him he was created PERFECT in ALL his way, but PRIDE rose up in him and it was his pride that caused him to fall and NOT that God created him to be prideful and rebellious. Isaiah 12:4-16.
“That you shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, HOW has the OPPRESSOR CEASED! The golden city ceased! 5. The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers. 6. He (Speaking of Satan) who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hinders. 7. The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: (Referring to the 1000 year reign of Jesus when the whole Earth is at peace when men do not learn about war anymore) they break forth into singing. 8. Yea, the fir trees rejoice at you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since you are laid down, (Or from since the time you were cast down and bound in the pit) no feller is come up against us. 9. Hell from beneath is moved for you to meet you at your coming: it stirs up the dead for you, even all the chief ones of the earth; it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10. All they shall speak and say unto you, Are you also become weak as we? Are you become like unto us? 11. Your pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of your violins: the worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you. 12. How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the GROUND, (Or HOW are you, Satan that great dragon and serpent called the devil cast down to the Earth) which did weaken the nations! 13. For you have said in your heart, I will ASCEND into heaven, I will exalt MY THRONE above the STARS of God (Or above the ANGELS of God): I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14. I will ASCEND above the heights of the CLOUDS; (The CLOUDS of the Earth where he is presently ruling with the principalities and powers and rulers of darkness in the air by STEALING this dominion from mankind. But BEFORE the creation of mankind Lucifer was SET UP by Almighty God himself to rule over the earth in a precious age that some Christians call the Luciferian age. That was when Lucifer who is now Satan FIRST said) I will be like the Most-High. (Please note that the Antichrist will come after the working of Satan or more precisely Satan possessing this man will exalt himself above all that is called God claiming to be God AT the time that Satan is cast down out of the MIDST of heaven or the air knowing that his TIME is SHORT having only 1260 days left.) 15. Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Meaning that eventually after he is cast down to the Earth to make war with God's people, the church, and the Jews, for 3 1/2 years, then when Jesus comes again Satan will be bound in the pit for 1000 years) 16. They that see you shall narrowly look upon you, and consider you, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;”
From this passage of Scripture we can see that Satan's THRONE was at one time UPON the EARTH and because of PRIDE he EXALTED himself and REBELLED against his creator Almighty God and declared his intention to overthrow Almighty God’s throne and exalt his earthly throne above the STARS or above the ANGELS of God, then God passed judgment upon him and the angels that followed him in his coup or rebellion against God to overthrow Almighty God and his angels. Now please keep in mind that this was not just Satan committing a transgression against God, but rather, Satan was trying to take over God's throne completely. Then Satan evidently FALSELY ACCUSED Almighty God of CREATING him this way because we read in Ezekiel where God plainly tells Satan that in the day he was created, he was created PERFECT. Some have wondered WHY? Why does God ALLOW Satan to continue to oppress mankind? WHY? Why did God not just go ahead and destroy Satan and the fallen angels right then and there? For a deeper understanding of this subject please read the study entitled “UNDERSTANDING WHY?” But for now, let us read Ezekiel, and then we will continue to look at the verses of Scripture that show us that the ANGELS are also called STARS in the Bible. This is an important clue to what we will soon be witnessing in the near future that will DECEIVE those who do not KNOW what they are seeing. Ezekiel 28:11-19 where Almighty God tells Satan to his face that he was created PERFECT in ALL his ways and that one day God will CAST Satan to the GROUND and later destroy him with FIRE. Ezekiel 28:11-19.
“Moreover, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12. Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus says the Lord GOD; You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13. You hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day that you were created. 14. You are the anointed cherub that covers; and I have set you so: you were upon the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15. You were PERFECT in your ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in you. 16. By the multitude of your merchandise, they have filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I will cast you as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, YOU have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I will CAST you to the GROUND, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you. 18. You have defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of you, it shall devour you, and I will bring you to ashes upon the earth in the SIGHT of all them that behold you. 19. All they that know you among the people shall be astonished at you: you shall be a terror, and never shall you be any more.”
Here again, we see a prophecy of Almighty God CASTING Satan out of the midst of heaven to the GROUND or down to the Earth. Now I would like you to please read Judges 5:19,20 where we see a WAR in HEAVEN where the STARS are fighting. And we all know that literal stars do NOT fight. NOR did men fight from HEAVEN in the Old Testament times. Therefore this passage of Scripture although it is, in fact, referring to a historical event it is also a PROPHECY of a FUTURE WAR in HEAVEN that is fought by ANGELS fighting against a king.
Judges 5:19,20. “The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of MEGIDDO (Or possibly Megiddon or Armageddon); they took no gain of money. 20. They fought from HEAVEN; the STARS in their courses FOUGHT against Sisera.”
Now I want you to read Daniel 8:9-12 where we see the ANTICHRIST making WAR with a HEAVENLY HOST. In other words, the antichrist after making war with God's people, the church, and the Jews, he will turn his focus toward the skies and make war with the STARS or more specifically Satan and his angels fought against Michael and the ANGELS of Almighty God.
Daniel 8:9-12. “And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. 10. And it (The little horn or the ANTICHRIST, the man of sin) waxed (Or grew) great, even to the host of HEAVEN; and it cast down some of the HOST and of the STARS to the GROUND, and stamped upon them. (Yes, even some of the good angels will be shot down during this war in heaven as well. Even today there are some videos on YouTube that show the Iranian and Syrian armies battling UFO’S and even shooting some down. Toward the end of the great tribulation, the STARS will FALL like figs from a fig tree shaken in the wind and men's hearts will fail for the FEAR of what is coming upon the earth) 11. Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him, the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his SANCTUARY was CAST DOWN. 12. And a host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground, and it practiced, and prospered.”
Then in Isaiah 24:21-23 we learn how God has an APPOINTED TIME when he shall PUNISH these high ones or these mighty ones who are presently ruling as the principalities and powers in the heavenly places of the Earth.
Isaiah 24:21-23.
“And it shall come to pass in THAT DAY, that the LORD shall punish the host of the HIGH ONES that are on HIGH and the kings of the earth upon the earth. (The high ones is speaking of the fallen angels) 22. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the PIT, and shall be shut up in the prison, and AFTER many days shall they be visited. (This is speaking of Satan and the fallen angels being bound in the bottomless pit for 1000 years. And then AFTER many days or AFTER the 1000 year reign, they shall be loosed for a little season to once again DECEIVE the nations.) 23. Then (Or at that time speaking of the second coming of Jesus to pour out the wrath of Almighty God and begin his reign for a 1000 years) the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, WHEN the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” Again, the high ones and the ancients are the fallen angels that declared war on God before the creation of mankind. That previous age is called the Luciferian age. These SIGNS in the SUN, and the MOON and the STARS are one of the KEYS to WHEN Jesus is coming again and when Satan is to be bound for 1000 years while Jesus reigns on the Earth. For a deeper understanding of this subject please read the studies “THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS” and “WRATH OF GOD VERSUS THE GREAT TRIBULATION!”. But for now, let us continue this study in God's word to learn HOW this WAR in heaven in the future will DECEIVE many on the Earth. Please take a look at 2 Kings 2:1, where we begin to see that the LORD RIDES or travels in a CHARIOT of FIRE upon a WHIRLWIND.
2 Kings 2:1. “And it came to pass when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a WHIRLWIND, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.”
Then in 2 Kings 2:11, we read. “And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a CHARIOT of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder, and Elijah went up BY a WHIRLWIND into heaven.” In other words, the people on the ground WITNESSED Elijah being taken UP from off of the Earth by the LORD INTO heaven or out of sight in the sky BY a CHARIOT of FIRE in a WHIRLWIND. Now we know that man did NOT have that capability of FLIGHT in the Old Testament times. So then, WHAT did these people SEE or WITNESSES and RECORD for us in the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, in order for us to READ today? There are some people today who are spreading the LIE that this event recorded in the Bible was an EXTRATERRESTRIAL ALIEN riding in a spacecraft coming down in what we call today a UFO and took this man of God UP into outer space. In other words, the groundwork for DECEIVING the world that Almighty God does NOT exist is that the human race was visited by ALIENS from another world in the distant past, and mankind just made these extraterrestrials or aliens that people saw to be gods or even God. Now some of you may be thinking, Oh, I would never fall for such a lie, and perhaps you may not, but I have to tell you this is only a part of what is going to take place. God would not have called it a STRONG DELUSION if it were not going to be so. Remember Jesus said that if it were possible that EVEN the very elect would be DECEIVED. And Jesus also said shall I find faith on the earth when I come? Please keep in mind that all I am trying to do is to PREPARE you for what MIGHT be. I am not DOGMATICALLY teaching that this is exactly the way that it is going to be, case closed. No, not at all! It may be that this STRONG DELUSION may be something entirely different. It is anyone's GUESS. But what I myself am proposing is a very reasonable “guess” based upon the whole word of God being compared to what is taking place NOW in today's world. So then, IF it turns out that I am correct and suddenly over the entire Earth the skies are FILLED will these extraterrestrial flying craft that are light years beyond our technology and these beings claim that they are our “creators” so to speak, then YOU will be prepared NOT to be deceived. In other words, if these aliens, which are the fallen angels transforming themselves as “friendly aliens” who may claim that they visited the Earth long before and left some of their people behind to populate this planet and now they are back to help us fight an enemy that they SAY has discovered the Earth and wants to take it as their own. And if we do NOT help in this fight, then we would be destroyed. Then how many in this world would be DECEIVED into believing that there is NO God if there suddenly appeared in the sky a WAR between UFOs and some of these UFOs were shot down to the Earth. And then the aliens in these extraterrestrial spacecraft claimed they were the God, or rather that they were mistaken to be God by those that witnessed seeing them in the past, seeing that the world is ALREADY headed in this direction? If you think that I am being too dramatic, then I strongly urge you to start WATCHING. Begin taking a look at the History Channel at PROGRAMS like Ancient Aliens or UFO Hunter that are PROGRAMMING the world to believe that there is NO God. Search the Internet for material on this subject matter. But for now, let us get back to this study in God's word on the ANGELS using CHARIOTS as the WINGS or manner of HOW they fly. Please keep in mind that people back then who had NO UNDERSTANDING of flying machines or modern technology had to use what they KNEW as a way to describe what they saw. Therefore they drew WINGS like a bird to illustrate FLIGHT. Thus the winged DISC or a flying SAUCER shaped craft was drawn with WINGS to show that this disc-shaped object flew. Thus WINGS represented FLIGHT. Here is a close up of a stone carving of a winged disc. Please notice the SERPENT heads coming out of the sides of this flying disc.
With that being said please read 1 Chronicles 28:18 where we see a PATTERN being given to God's people to fashion a model of a CHARIOT of the CHERUBIMS, which is a kind or type of an ANGEL of God depicted with WINGS like a bird to show that they FLEW in the sky.
1 Chronicle 28:18. “And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the PATTERN of the CHARIOT of the CHERUBIMS, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.”
Then we read in Psalm 104:1-3 where the Lord our God makes the CLOUDS His CHARIOT to walk or fly upon the WIND. In other words, God’s chariots are covered or hidden in the clouds when he comes with his Son to deliver his people.
Psalm 104:1-3.
“Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honor and majesty. 2. Who covers Yourself with light as with a garment: who stretches out the heavens like a curtain: 3. Who lays the beams of his CHAMBERS in the waters: who makes the clouds his CHARIOT: who walks upon the wings of the wind.”
Here again, the WINGS or the WIND is a descriptive language that illustrates FLIGHT where God uses a CHARIOT to FLY among the CLOUDS. The word “CHARIOT” in the Hebrew language means to ride upon. A chariot is simply something that CARRIES a RIDER. So we see that these CHARIOTS rode or did FLY among the CLOUDS. There are many verses that depict Jesus' return from heaven UPON CLOUDS of POWER and GLORY. So then, is Jesus just going to be floating in the air or on the clouds like some of the early church drawings and paintings depict him? Or is Jesus coming again to the Earth RIDING in a CHARIOT of God? And I do mean by CHARIOT what is referred to in the world today as a UFO, a flying disc, or some type of flying craft that the world would call a flying saucer or UFO. Before you make a judgment on this matter please at least CONSIDER all the evidence from the WHOLE word of God. In Revelation 19:11-19 we see Jesus coming again to judge and make WAR with those that fight against God's people and we see Jesus RIDING upon a WHITE HORSE.
Revelation 19:11-19.
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a WHITE HORSE, and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness, he does judge and makes WAR. 12. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14. And the ARMIES which were in heaven followed him upon WHITE HORSES, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15. And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16. And he has on his vesture and on his thigh, a name is written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that FLY in the MIDST of HEAVEN, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18. That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make WAR against him that sat on the HORSE, and against his army.”
Now, with all the symbolism in the book of Revelation do you really think that Jesus is going to be RIDING a LITERAL HORSE? Remember earlier I said that many people have been seeing WHITE orbs shooting at BLACK orbs? The color white speaks of good against evil. Could it be that what Jesus is RIDING in is what the world calls today a UFO or alien spacecraft? Here we have a description from the word of God that Jesus is going to come from heaven to fight a WAR and he will be RIDING on something that John saw in his vision and DESCRIBED to us as being a WHITE HORSE. All I am saying is for you to be OPEN to the possibility of Jesus and his ARMIES from heaven are coming to the Earth in FLYING CRAFT that some will no doubt mistake or CLAIM as being UFOS or more precisely ALIEN spacecraft. The unsaved will see Christians being transported or snatched up into these flying spaceships that are foreign or ALIEN to anything that they have ever seen. And they will wrongly conclude that the earth is being invaded by aliens. And the survival instinct will cause them to fight AGAINST Jesus rather than to REPENT and call upon Jesus to be spared alive. Take a look at Psalm 68:1-17, where God is coming in his WRATH to fight against his ENEMY of his people, Satan, and his ANGELS, who have DECEIVED wicked men to WAR against God's people, the church and the Jews.
Psalm 68:1-17. “Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. 2. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 3. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. 4. Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that RIDES upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. (But WHAT is God RIDING IN? IS God RIDING IN a CHARIOT or is he just floating in the clouds? Keep READING and the word of God itself will tell you plainly) 5. A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. 6. God sets the solitary in families: he brings out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. 7. O God, when you went forth before your people when you didst march through the wilderness; Selah: 8. The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. 9. You, O God, did send a plentiful rain, whereby you did confirm your inheritance when it was weary. 10. Your congregation has dwelt therein: you, O God, have prepared of your goodness for the poor. 11. The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. 12. Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. 13. Though you have lien among the pots, yet shall you be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. 14. When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. 15. The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; a high hill as the hill of Bashan. 16. Why leap you, you high hills? This is the hill which God desires to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it forever. 17. The CHARIOTS of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of ANGELS: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.”
It appears that God has many, many thousands of CHARIOTS for him and his ANGELS to RIDE in when Jesus comes again to execute the WRATH of Almighty God. One of the things that some Christians do not realize is that Almighty God himself is coming WITH his Son Jesus when Jesus comes again to receive his bride the church to himself. Pleases read Habakkuk 3:3-8 where we see Almighty God the Father AND his Son Jesus, the Holy One, coming in CHARIOTS of salvation.
Habakkuk 3:3.
“God came from Teman AND the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.”
Almighty God AND His Holy One, Jesus, will come from two different strategic points of attack. Here is Habakkuk 3:3 again from the New Century Version. “God is coming from Teman; the Holy One comes from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covers the SKIES, and his praise fills the earth.” And then one more time here is Habakkuk 3:3 from the Message Bible, “God's on his way again, retracing the old salvation route, Coming up from the south through Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. SKIES are BLAZING with his splendor, his praises sounding through the earth,”
Remember in 2 Thessalonians chapter 1 where Jesus comes in FLAMING FIRE taking vengeance upon the disobedient to the gospel. We also read in Isaiah 31:4-6 a description of the SECOND coming. And in this prophecy, God is described as FLYING like the BIRDS which reminds me of the EAGLES being gathered to the place called Armageddon at the second coming of Jesus for the marriage supper of the Lamb, the great supper of our God.
Isaiah 31:4-6. “For thus has the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof. 5. As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it, and passing over he will preserve it. 6. Turn you unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.”
When I first saw the movie Independence Day and the alien spacecraft coming into the Earth's atmosphere the CLOUDS became as BLAZING FIRE and hid the spaceships for a while. I could not help but think, Could this be what it will be like when Jesus comes in CLOUDS of great glory in a FLAMING FIRE to take vengeance upon the world? Here is a picture from the movie Independence Day of a winged disc coming in fiery clouds. Anyway, this area of Teman is where Almighty God CAME DOWN from heaven and appeared on Mount Sinai. Please read Exodus chapter 19 for this description of FIERY CLOUDS upon Mount Sinai, but for now, let us continue reading in Habakkuk chapter 3 with verses 4 through verse 8.
Habakkuk 3:4-8. “And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and THERE (Speaking of the HORNS in his hands, THERE) was the hiding of his POWER. (To me this may very well be some kind of handheld laser beam weapon having a bright light) 5. Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet. 6. He stood and measured the earth: he beheld and drove asunder the nations, and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting. 7. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. 8. Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers? Was your wrath against the sea, that you did RIDE upon your HORSE and your CHARIOTS of salvation?”
Again, the writer was using what he KNEW to DESCRIBE what he saw. In other words, the writer saw the Lord RIDING upon SOMETHING and he knew that people would understand the words HORSE and CHARIOTS because this is what people RODE upon in that day and time. With that in mind please read Psalm 68:32-35, which tells us God RIDES upon the heavens of heavens and that his STRENGTH is IN the CLOUDS.
Psalm 68:32-35. “Sing unto God, you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: 33. To him that RIDES upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. 34. Ascribe you strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the CLOUDS. 35. O God, you are terrible out of your holy places: the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.”
And then when we read Isaiah 66:15,16 we see that the Lord RIDES in his CHARIOTS coming with flames of FIRE like a WHIRLWIND.
Isaiah 66:15,16.
“For, behold, the LORD will come with FIRE, and with his CHARIOTS like a WHIRLWIND, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 16. For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.”
Jeremiah 4:13,14 says it this way.
“Behold, he shall come up as CLOUDS, and his CHARIOTS shall be as a WHIRLWIND: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled. 14. O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge within you?”
If by chance you have not seen the movie Independence Day, then I strongly urge you to view it and take note of the fiery clouds that go before these spacecraft as they enter the Earth's atmosphere and see first hand what I believe resembled what these prophets of the Bible saw and then had to describe to us not knowing about flying spacecraft. At least today most of us have an idea of alien spacecraft from movies and some perhaps by real-life experience so we can better describe a vision of God riding upon the clouds with flames of fire. Here is a link to the movie Independence Day post on YouTube. You can skip to 19 minutes to the scene where the alien craft burst through the clouds in fiery clouds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdBfTERNhrA
Let us continue with Joel 2:1-11, which describes the ARMY of the Lord SKIPPING across the TOPS of mountains.
Joel 2:1-11.
“Blow you the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD comes, for it is nigh at hand; 2. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. 3. A fire devours before them; and behind them, a flame burns: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. 4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and AS horsemen, so shall they run. 5. Like the noise of chariots on the TOPS of mountains shall they LEAP, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 6. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. 7. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war, and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: 8. Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. 9. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. 10. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: 11. And the LORD shall utter his voice before his ARMY: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executes his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?”
I want you to notice that these in God's army are NOT even wounded when they fall upon the sword. Now as for me personally I believe this ARMY of the Lord is speaking of not only the ANGELS of God, but ALSO of the SAINTS of God as well because in Revelation chapter 19 we saw that Jesus is coming with his ARMIES from heaven where ARMIES is plural. We also know from the word of God that Jesus is coming with his ANGELS and also that Jesus is coming with his SAINTS. Meaning that the church has been caught up in the AIR to meet Jesus and be WITH Jesus when he is fighting the armies of this world at the battle of Armageddon. I also believe that the armies of this world will join with Satan and his army of angels and the major part of the fight will turn toward the heavens to fight against Almighty God and his Son Jesus and the armies of heaven. Please read Revelation 9:1-11, where we are told of a STAR or more specifically this STAR is, in fact, an ANGEL that falls or rather is CAST DOWN from heaven or the sky. Notice that this angel that is cast out of heaven is given the KEY to the bottomless pit to let loose those who have been bound there. This is why I believe that this ANGEL that is cast out of heaven is Satan himself. In a WAR the opposing side always tries to take out the LEADER of the opposing army first or as quickly as possible. I myself see Satan cast down to the ground at the beginning of the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation and many if not most of the fallen angels at the climactic end of this BATTLE of Armageddon. I believe some fallen angels will continue to fight during the wrath of God.
Revelation 9:1-11. “And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a STAR fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he strikes a man. 6. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle, and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 11. And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.”
Now I want you to notice that this ANGEL that has been cast down to the Earth is the KING that is over these beings that will be let loose from the bottomless pit to fight against mankind. And this king's name is called Abaddon in the Hebrew language. Abaddon means destruction or destroyer and is called Apollyon in the Greek language, which also means the DESTROYER. The Bible refers to Satan as being the DESTROYER and he destroys God's people by tempting them to disobey God and deceiving them into believing his LIES. And one of those lies that he uses to DECEIVE the world is that there is NO God. Think about this rebellion or great APOSTASY or turning away from believing in God that is foretold to us in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 as being a massive UFO sighting where these alien craft can be plainly seen by everyone on the Earth. Please humor me for a few more moments and please consider a possibility of this STRONG DELUSION that God will send so that the world will believe this lie because the world refused to believe the TRUTH that there truly is an Almighty God and creator of all things. So what if this STRONG DELUSION will be these so-called extraterrestrial beings that appear to the entire world in these flying spacecraft we now call UFOs? But rather, these so-called aliens are actually interdimensional beings who the Bible calls the angels. Remember that the WAR in heaven has two sides. Satan and his angels will just be masquerading as being aliens from another planet in order to DECEIVE the world to fight against Almighty God and his angels when the time comes. But first Satan must deceive the world that the Christians and the Jews, the only TWO witnesses who stand for God, must be killed for whatever reason. A huge amount of evidence from the Bible definitely points to Islam as the MARK of the beast. Humanism and evolution or basically atheism will play a role as well. Also, there is the ancient alien or UFO lie that there is no God in the world today and that the ancient aliens were mistaken to be gods. Perhaps the lie that Satan spreads about these only TWO witnesses that stand for God is that we are aliens from another world that were planted here long ago and that we will side with the world's enemy that is fighting against them. And then Satan, masquerading as an alien will say that they have come in PEACE and that they need the help of the people of Earth to fight against this other threat that is coming from deep space. I don't know at this time with absolute certainty what LIE that Satan and the antichrist will use to DECEIVE the world into persecuting and killing the church and the Jews, but with all the UFO sightings in the past 60 plus years, I cannot help but believe that somehow this is all going to come into play to DECEIVE the world into believing a LIE so that they will NOT believe the TRUTH. For you see, the armies fighting against God's people, the Christians, and the Jews, will TURN to fight Jesus and his armies in the SKY that are flying in chariots or UFOs. The word of God teaches us that we as Christians who have the testimony of Jesus and the Jews who follow the commandments of God will be persecuted, thrown in prison, and killed for believing or standing for God. It will be a time of great distress for God's people even to the point that the FAITH of some will grow weak and cold. Some will fall away from the faith and believe this STRONG DELUSION right along with the world. But there will be some who will remain faithful to God and who will fast and pray and call out to God to deliver them and God will answer their cries. Please read Psalm 18:6-24 or 2 Samuel 22:7-25, where we learn that God will hear our cry and he will BOW or BEND the heavens, which I believe is speaking of BENDING SPACE to create a PORTAL or WORMHOLE to travel a great distance in a moment of time in order for Almighty God and his army of angels to come down to Earth riding in their CHARIOTS as we learned about earlier.
Psalm 18:6-24 and or 2 Samuel 22:7-25.
“In my distress, I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he HEARD my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 7. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken because he was wroth. 8. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 9. He BOWED the HEAVENS also, and CAME DOWN: and darkness (Perhaps referring to outer space. The WORLD explains that the way extraterrestrials can travel great distances in a short time is to BEND or BOW space to create a WORMHOLE or a PORTAL between worlds. Some of the pictures that they use to illustrate this bowing of the heavens is like a portal where the darkness of space can be seen when looking into the wormhole) was under his feet. 10. And he RODE upon a CHERUB, and did FLY: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 11. He made darkness his secret place (Or God remained in outer space out of sight and some of his army of angels hid in the CLOUDS of the skies for their covering); his PAVILION (Or God's tabernacle or dwelling place or what God RODE in and did FLY. This may be what the world calls the mother ship.) round about him were dark waters and thick CLOUDS of the skies. 12. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed hailstones and coals of fire. 13. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hailstones and coals of fire. 14. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he SHOT out lightning, and discomfited them. (What we know today as laser beams could be described as bolts of lightning) 15. Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils. (Again, the prophets seeing these visions from God knew nothing of explosions back then but they understood the effects of a sneeze creating a blast of air) 16. He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. (Referring to the rapture of the church and ALSO the great exodus of the Jews out of captivity in the Islamic Muslim countries.) 17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. 18. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 19. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me because he delighted in me. 20. The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me. 21. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 22. For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 23. I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 24. Therefore, has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.”
In verses 9-11 we see that God RODE upon a CHERUB. Then is the book of Ezekiel chapter 9 verses 1 through 6 we see God riding upon a CHERUB as he is about to execute his WRATH upon the disobedient and ungodly.
Ezekiel 9:1-6. “He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. 2. And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lies toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar. 3. And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the CHERUB, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side; 4. And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a MARK upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that CRY for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. 5. And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go you after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have you pity: 6. Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come NOT near any man upon whom is the MARK; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.”
Almighty God was RIDING upon a CHERUB and giving instructions to an angel to put a MARK upon the people of God who were praying and crying out to God concerning all the abominations in the world. This is an IMPORTANT verse to take note of my dear brothers and sisters in the Lord. It appears that ONLY those of us who are PRAYING for the people of this world and for all the abominations in the world to cease will be MARKED with a mark of PROTECTION from God's wrath. In other words, ONLY the Christians who are sighing, mourning, and crying for the people will be protected and NOT cut off. We need to stop focusing on our little problems so much and begin having COMPASSION for our fellow man, beginning with the house of God, our fellow brothers, and sisters who are being persecuted for their faith. The abomination of Muslims killing Christians and the Jews need to be pleaded before Almighty God to COME and put an end to the wickedness in the world. Getting back to the subject of the CHARIOTS of God being CHERUBS we then see in the next chapter that we are given a description of the appearance of these CHERUBIMS. Please read Ezekiel 10:1-22, which describes these CHERUBIMS as being machine-like vehicles that God RODE upon.
Ezekiel 10:1-22. “Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the CHERUBIMS there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a THRONE. 2. And he spoke unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the WHEELS, even under the CHERUB, and fill your hand with coals of fire from between the CHERUBIMS, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight. 3. Now the CHERUBIMS stood on the right side of the house when the man went in, and the CLOUD filled the inner court. 4. Then the glory of the LORD went up from the CHERUB, and stood over the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the CLOUD, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD'S glory. 5. And the sound of the CHERUBIMS' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaks. 6. And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the WHEELS, from between the CHERUBIMS; then he went in, and stood beside the WHEELS. 7. And one CHERUB stretched forth his hand from between the CHERUBIMS unto the fire that was between the CHERUBIMS, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it and went out. 8. And there appeared in the CHERUBIMS the form of a man's hand under their wings. 9. And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the CHERUBIMS, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the color of a beryl stone. 10. And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. (People have witnessed UFOs coming out of larger UFOs that looked the same as the mother ship. These people describe the appearance of these UFOs as being ROUND like a sphere as opposed to being round like a wheel) 11. When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went. 12. And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of EYES round about, even the wheels that they four had. 13. As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel. 14. And everyone (Everyone of the four wheels, each wheel) had four faces: the first face was the face of a CHERUB, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15. And the CHERUBIMS were LIFTED UP (Or in other words, the CHERUBIMS hovered above.) This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar. 16. And when the CHERUBIMS went, the WHEELS went by them: and when the CHERUBIMS lifted up their wings to MOUNT UP from the earth, the same WHEELS also turned not from beside them. 17. When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them. 18. Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house and stood over the CHERUBIMS. 19. And the CHERUBIMS lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the WHEELS also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. 20. This is the living creature that I saw UNDER the God of Israel by the river of Chebar, and I knew that they were the CHERUBIMS. 21. Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. 22. And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.”
Now if we consider the BOWING of heaven as being the bending of space to make a portal or GATEWAY from God's throne to the Earth and Almighty God coming down from heaven RIDING on a CHERUB or CHARIOT, then we can understand the verse of Scripture that speaks of a GATE to heaven. Please read Genesis 28:10-17 where Jacob has a dream of ANGELS ascending and descending from HEAVEN and Jacob refers to this place that he had this dream as the GATE of heaven.
Genesis 28:10-17. “And Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. 11. And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. 12. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder SET UP on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. 13. And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed; 14. And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in you and in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15. And, behold, I am with you, and will keep you in all places whither you go, and will bring you again into this land; for I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken to you of. 16. And Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place, and I knew it not. 17. And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! This is none other but the house of God, and this is the GATE of heaven.”
If one were to view an illustration of a wormhole as described by some scientists today and they were to picture flying craft entering one side of this wormhole and coming out the other side on the Earth it would no doubt appear as a LADDER, so to speak, in which these flying spaceships were using to get from one place to another. Here is an illustration of a wormhole where space is BENT or BOWED together to create a passageway or a “ladder” if you will. Could this be what Jacob saw in his dream with angels flying through the gate of heaven coming down to the earth?
Please read Psalm 118:19,20.
“Open to me the GATES of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: 20. This GATE of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.”
Ezekiel 43:1-4 says this about the GATE or PORTAL through which God comes through.
Ezekiel 43:1-4. “Afterward, he brought me to the gate, even the GATE that looks toward the east: 2. And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the EAST: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. 3. And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar, and I fell upon my face. 4. And the glory of the LORD came INTO the house by the way of the GATE whose prospect is toward the EAST.”
Now, I realize that this is speaking of the eastern GATE of the city of Jerusalem, but when we consider how God HIDES his plan in accounts of prophecies such as this, then it is not a stretch for this verse and other verses to have DOUBLE meanings. Compare this verse with the second coming of Jesus. What does the Bible say about the EASTERN SKY and how the COMING of the Son of man shall be even as lightning that COMES OUT of the EASTERN sky and shines unto the western sky? Please read Matthew 24:23-27 where Jesus describes his COMING and being QUICK like lightning and then he gives us a hint as to the direction he will come from, the EASTERN SKIES.
Matthew 24:23-37. “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25. Behold, I have told you before. 26. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27. For as the lightning comes OUT of the EAST, and shines even unto the west, so shall ALSO the coming of the Son of man be.”
Remember that the chariots of God are SWIFTER than the eagles. People who have seen UFOs say that they are extremely fast and like a FLASH they are gone. Then we read in Zechariah 14:1-5 where the Lord COMES down from heaven and places his feet upon the Mount of Olives which is on the EAST of Jerusalem.
Zechariah 14:1-5. “Behold, the day of the LORD COMES, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you. 2. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished, and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3. Then shall the LORD GO FORTH, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the EAST, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north and half of it toward the south. 5. And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, you shall flee, like as you fled from before the EARTHQUAKE in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with you.”
Then we read in Isaiah 60:8 this QUESTION that is asking, “WHO are these that FLY as a CLOUD, and as the doves to their windows (Or hover as doves outside their windows)?”
A cloud on a calm day seems to HOVER in one place. The word of God says that those who WAIT upon the Lord shall renew their strength and shall MOUNT UP as WINGS as EAGLES. Or in other words, the Lord shall carry us on EAGLES WINGS, or more specifically Almighty God shall take us up into his CHARIOT in the sky that the world will see as being UFO's or an ALIEN invasion harvesting people from off the earth.
Let us read Matthew 24:24-31, which teaches us a little more about us mounting up with WINGS as EAGLES.
Matthew 24:24-31. “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25. Behold, I have told you before. 26. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27. For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28. For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the EAGLES be GATHERED TOGETHER. 29. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the STARS shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:(Or the fallen angels, or more precisely the REST or many more of Satan’s angels shall be CAST DOWN out of heaven at the end of the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation. There will still be some fighting against the high ones or the fallen angels during the wrath of God but MANY like figs will be shot down to the ground at the ending of the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation) 30. And THEN shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall SEE the Son of man coming in the CLOUDS of heaven with power and great glory. 31. And he shall send his ANGELS with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall GATHER TOGETHER his elect (Those that WAIT upon the Lord who will MOUNT UP as wings of an eagle or be caught up in the CLOUDS to meet Jesus in the AIR and FLY as the BIRDS as Isaiah 31:4,5 describes) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
Think about this for a moment, I know we have all seen drawings of Christians floating up into the air to meet Jesus, but just suppose that in reality we will be “BEAMED UP”, so to speak, or transported up aboard flying spacecraft that are hovering in the CLOUDS in the air, and when we are all caught up in the air abroad these spacecraft we are gathered together to go to MEET Jesus at the place called Armageddon to take part in the marriage supper of our great God. But the world sees this event of the rapture of the church as people being SNATCHED or harvested from the earth.
In other words, we are the EAGLES that are GATHERED TOGETHER in the AIR over this battlefield where there are already many dead bodies and we will help Jesus execute the WRATH of Almighty God from the AIR being IN the CHARIOTS or spacecraft of the Almighty on those who refuse to repent and call upon the Lord to be saved or spared alive. Please understand that there will also be literal birds of prey to eat the dead flesh.
1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 says it this way.
“For the Lord, himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the CLOUDS, to MEET the Lord in the AIR: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
Then we read in Revelation 1:7 that Jesus is coming WITH CLOUDS. “Behold, he comes with CLOUDS; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”
Then I think Psalm 27:5 ties things together for us to give us a more realistic picture of what is actually going to take place. Keep in mind that they did not have a word for spaceship but they understood what INSIDE a tent, booth, pavilion or tabernacle means. So we will enter into the inside of God’s chariots being flown by the angels sent to gather us all together.
Psalm 27:5.
“For in the time of trouble he shall HIDE me in his PAVILION: in the secret of his TABERNACLE shall he HIDE me; he shall set me up upon a rock.”
The angels of the Lord shall beam us up, so to speak, aboard these CHARIOTS of God and we shall be taken in these winged discs flown by the army of angels to MEET Jesus in the AIR over this place called Armageddon to help execute the wrath of God upon those Islamic Muslim armies that will be fighting against Israel. In other words, we shall be HID or protected from God's wrath as well as the armies that are fighting against God's people Israel, because we will be in God's PAVILION, or in his tabernacle. Or more specifically we will be aboard his fly spacecraft and RIDE with Jesus and his angels in CHARIOTS or what is known today by the world as UFOS or unidentified flying objects, flying saucers, alien spaceships. Revelation 21:1-8 tells us that Almighty God HIMSELF will DESCEND to the Earth with his TABERNACLE or DWELLING place. Think of a HUGE mother ship as being the TABERNACLE of God or the City of God called the New Jerusalem. Revelation 21:1-8. “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the TABERNACLE of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7. He that overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whore mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Going back to this WAR in heaven we read in 2 Kings 19:20-34 and Isaiah 37:21-35, which gives the SAME EXACT prophecy in the form of a two-fold prophecy, one that has already been fulfilled and one that is yet future. The one in the future is speaking of this WAR in heaven where Satan and his angels are CAST DOWN out of heaven to the Earth.
2 Kings 19:20-34 and or Isaiah:37:21-35.
“Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, That which you have prayed to me against Sennacherib (Which means SIN has increased the brothers) king of Assyria (This king of Assyria is a type or shadow of the antichrist or Satan behind the antichrist in the last days) I have heard. 21. This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion has despised you, and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you. 22. Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? And against whom have you EXALTED your voice, and LIFTED UP your eyes ON HIGH? Even against the Holy One of Israel. 23. By your messengers you have reproached the Lord, and have said, With the multitude of MY CHARIOTS I am COME UP to the height of the mountains, (This is referring to Satan and his CHARIOTS that will fight this future WAR in the heavens. This may also include the back engineered spaceships being made by the governments of the world that are in league with Lucifer) to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel. (Trees are sometimes used to refer to God's people. For example, and the trees of the field will clap their hands and the olive tree as being symbolic for Israel) 24. I have dug and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places. 25. Have you not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? Now have I brought it to pass, that you should be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps. 26. Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it is grown up. 27. But I know your abode, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against me. 28. Because rage rages against me, and your tumult has come up into mine ears, therefore, I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came. 29. And this shall be a sign unto you, You shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springs of the same; and in the third year sow you, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof. 30. And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward and bear fruit upward. 31. For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this. 32. Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it. 33. By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, says the LORD. 34. For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.”
In this passage of Scripture, we see that Satan and his angels also have these CHARIOTS to fight in the heavens. There is coming a WAR in heaven and if this war is visible to mankind, then these STARS that the Bible speaks of that FALL from heaven or the sky could very well be ANGELS that are RIDING in CHARIOTS known by us today as UFOs being shot down to the Earth by the good angels. This, of course, is only my interpretation, but HOW else will mankind be DECEIVED if these falling STARS falling from heaven were just meteorites falling to Earth? Now there may well be some future disaster of comets, asteroids, and meteors falling to Earth that will look like STARS falling from heaven, but I do not see HOW this type of event will be a STRONG DELUSION that will DECEIVE the whole world. It would certainly strike fear in people, if destruction was being caused, but not be a strong delusion that they would be deceived to believe a LIE and fall away from God. All I am saying is be prepared NOT to be DECEIVED into believing that there is NO God if, in fact, UFOs become a reality beyond question and YOU YOURSELF become a first-hand WITNESS of these flying craft that the world says is from another world. DO NOT fall for the LIE that these so-called ALIENS were Gods all along and there is NO Almighty God who created all things. Hold fast to your FAITH in the one TRUE God, Almighty God the Father and his Son Jesus our Lord and savior who will COME and save his people with CHARIOTS of SALVATION!
